Clearly since this had really nothing to be about being a Nintendo fanboy and all about marketing. When you can't come up with anything, peg someone as a blind fan troll especially since it was entirely off topic since the quote was about Japanese vs Western gaming habits.
Perhaps I really just dislike or can't much get into what is considered western gaming and popular these days since it has drowned out so much creativity and good stuff from hitting a disc or game card. I never was much a fan of western stuff in the 80s or 90s either, so it's nothing new, but much of it just bored the crap out of me and always has except in certain cases. I'll take an on paper D&D game over a western RPG digital version anytime. Sports I'll go in for if it's unlicensed. Racing I like the more screwy non-real stuff. FPS, WW2 DOOM Wolf3D, Duke stuff good, rest couldn't care less about mostly.
I'm far from a Nintendo fanboy. I went from NES to Genesis to Playstation to Playstation 2 to 360. I didn't play SNES until maybe 2 years ago, I played a lot of N64 in the 90s and had one in the house, but I preferred my Playstation. I played a little Gamecube, but again preferred my PS2 and Xbox. I do play Wii and I love it, but my 360 has gotten a lot more playtime.
If the 700 something games that were released on the NES were on the Master System, I'd be into it over the NES. But theyre not.
I'm lost on any shoe fitting. I've owned all the Sega systems outside of the Pico and got my kicks out of it, just never liked the library as much as the Nintendo stuff when you factor in the third party releases. I mean this is pretty off topic anyway since this was about advertising, not personal tastes in game quality, but whatever floats the boat when one is on a mission right?
Yeah, I played good games on my NES, but having said, I already was a 16bit gamer when the NES arrived at our shores. 8bit was like old fashioned. Nevertheless, I defended the SMS because Nintendo ruled USA due to hard work, cheating, threatening and lying. Hard work is ok, but the other not. USA is the land of fair competition, and Nintendo didn't play by the rules.
This is true. I do think, tho, had Nintendo not been as hardcore as they were the US video game market woulda never taken back off again. Much of their strategies were to keep the market from becoming over-saturated again. And, yes, they were cutthroat with their contracts, but in the end, video games finally became a real comodity for people, and kept many developers in business. U'd never have later games like Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid if there weren't some standards set, and someone controlling things.
Of course Nintendo had the better support and library, that is well known. But the SMS was very capable. I've never seen anything, homebrew or otherwise, to compare with the graphics of SF2 on the SMS...

Isnt it just a basics fact that the Master System has a larger color pallet then the NES? I don't really judge the graphics based on the best on both systems either, I was just going by what an average game with average graphics looks like.
And let me state I LOVE Kirby's Adventure, and it does look better then a lot of SMS games, but it really pushes the limits of the NES. Idk if there really were any games that pushed the limits of the Master System tho in that sense. That's wat I was getting at.
Just because SMS has a larger color pallet doesnt mean the games will look better. I think Street Fighter II on the master system looks and plays horrible. Gameplay is super choppy. Compare to Joy Mech Fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMexAWRftto
